The Department of Justice is now investigating the “kill” remark of Vice President Sara Duterte against President Marcos, Malacañang said yesterday.

Leaders of the House of Representatives rallied yesterday behind Speaker Martin Romualdez, dismissing Vice President Sara Duterte’s latest statement as a “desperate attempt” to shift public attention from her alleged misuse of P612.5 million in confidential and intelligence funds of the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education when she was the DepEd secretary.

Public school teachers are backing calls for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, saying revelations at the House of Representatives signal alarming anomalies surrounding her public spending as vice president and former education secretary.

While Vice President Sara Duterte’s “reckless and dangerous” remarks – along with her “active threats” – against President Marcos may not yet constitute a constitutional crisis, they could still have serious repercussions, Senate President Pro-Tempore Jinggoy Estrada said yesterday.

Despite the threatening remarks of Vice President Sara Duterte, President Marcos proceeded with his schedule yesterday as he and First Lady Liza Marcos led the recognition ceremony at Malacañang for award-winning Filipino chorale groups.
